After replacing my starter this weekend, I've ordered a replacement block heater power connector - very scary actually.
The aftermarket replacements don't come with any sheathing. The manifold heat kills the cords. If you can, pick up some of that insulated reflective sheathing to protect it. Split loom will not hold up long, especially if you tow due to the extra heat.
Now this has me thinking, about what age, should we just look at replacing the cable and sheathing?
I'd replace it the day before it shorts out and starts fire.
But really though the concern is near the manifold. Any exposed wire to the heat should be inspected. if you bend the wire by hand and it cracks or appears melted then it's time to get a new one. I think the last one I found on Amazon. The company that makes them I think is Kats. It was 17 bucks.

If you have it on a GFCI/arc fault like your should then the risk is a lot lower
in many ways. Not only from shoring but also from someone getting bit from
a bad element. Always use a grounded cord.
From the looks fo it I would lean towards the brake rotor and overheating.
One other thing about fires that a lot of people forget is the leftovers STINK BAD
This is how I know that.
What you don't see is my Little truck and the Explorer. Both took weeks to get the smell out of
and neither of them were that close. That smell just gets into EVERY THING and is hard to get out
of the duct work. I ended up using stuff you use in a building fire to remove the left over smell.
Took the full can to do both trucks.
BTW the car that was in the garage was a Toyota. It burned the tires off of it.
